Just to share my experience, few days ago Waydroid stopped to work for me with my Pixel 3a on 16.04 Stable channel. I was then forced to pass to 20.04, since I still need to have whatsapp in some ways available. I thought that upgrating from within the OS itself straight to 20.04 it would have been a good idea, avoiding using the Ubports installed but it was a great pain instead; it upgraded to 20.04 but OS resulted severely broken. In fact any kind of gesture I was used to was slower and unresponsive most of the time. Phone storage was awfully clogged, 60 GB nearly full for no apparent reason like if the new OS installed along with the old one. Subsequently, I decided to employ the Ubports installer without selecting the wipe option in order to preserve my data but it never ended the process, after many attempts with different usb cables (at least 5 cables I tried). There was no way to resurrect the phone, therefore in the end I was obliged to try to install by means of the Ubports installer but this time tapping on the wipe tick, to install from scratch. It worked flawless and now I'm on Focal 20.04. Unfortunately I lost some of my data, but luckily I was wise enough to backup at least my personal videos and pictures. The new environment seems much snappier than before, but I'll report my experience on that in a few days to get used to it.

@pparent Good point, will do!

@mariogrip said in This week in development (week 52 2024): I'd like to start posting weekly development updates here on the forums - this is a bit of an experiment, so please let me know if you find these updates useful and what could be improved. I think it's a great idea, and I think starting a fresh weekly thread would improve things. If once a week is too much, consider a slower pace that's easier to stick to.

@pparent Good for you. I have tested more heavily this solution and it's promising, but I suspect that there are still a bug or two in systemd itself and I need to clear the air about it before suggesting it in a QA.

@ziggutas you can follow the ongoing effort to compile Dekko2 for xenial here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1477/dekko2-developer-community-thread/25 and here https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/ P.S. I'm using webmail until Dekko2 is ready

@hummlbach Stuttgart would be nice for me, i'm interested in app development

@Elrohir said in 20.04 Pixel 3A: Re: 20.04 Pixel 3A Hello everybody, I'm new here and have just installed 20.04 stable in a pixel 3a. I dont know if this is the correct place (please let me know if it isnt), but I would like to share a problem I'm facing. I'm trying to install the Document viewer from UBPorts but I cant get it done. At some point it stops the download and shows the Install button again. I dont know if this may be related with the size (~500 Mb), I have install other apps with no issue. Another issues I had that seem to have been solved after a wile are: Not able to find a mobile hotspot crated with another phone > solved after reboot. In the top dropdown menu, in the System tab, all the options except for Lock and Shut Down did nothing > solved after some time No push notifications on TELEports > solved after reboot. Another thing I found "weird" is the ability to get the left menu out when the phone is locked, but this is more a desing thing than a bug. I will go on with more testing, but so far I really like it Better to check if that issues persist on devel. i had the issue with Document viewer, but it get fixed the next try iirc. For others issues you found i don't have this on devel

@newbie089 I did not brick it! When the battery was empty, I was able to get back into fastboot mode and use twrp again. I tried and failed to flash it with emma (could not be recognized even though in flash mode (green LED)) so i tried to flash the current devel_flashable (#2351078025 master 60732a96) and I am now back at the start (when I boot there is nothing happening but the SONY Logo showing all the time). Any help is appreciated. Cheers

@domubpkm @Br1 I can confirm that on volla quintus (OTA-7 and devel channel) isn't working either. Same behavior as @domubpkm , call-recording locks mycrophone and speaker on calls. Nothing is captured on saved file. There os anything i can do to track the problem? (Another interesting thing is that looks like the install-script breaks the camera, it make camera app the capability of record videos. Uninstall the script or change between channels doesn't solve the problem, it is just solved by factory reset )

For information, before closing this thread : The flickering issue has been fixed in 20.04 devel channel : https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android10/xiaomi-poco-x3/xiaomi-surya/-/commit/9d36e8d5986b2bf21afed7feff46baaa7c7535c9 Thanks to @_Joao_ and everybody on pocox3 telegram channel for their help

@libremax On the Nothing Phone (1) running Noble in India. VoLTE seems to be working on all 3 major services here (Those being Airtel, Jio and Vi) . I haven't really had any issues in the past month of using UT. SMS are instant too.

@k.nacke Thanks for the proposal, I will first start to install (which will be the challenge like any first time For the 4G I will normally used my phone shared connection (bluetooth or wifi). But why not helping once my yearly trip will end. Shall I first start to initialize the tablet with its android, or can I start directly to flash and boot Linux ?

@matteo Any news here ? Check there if you can : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9213/mobile-network-data-counter

@luksus There is people in Chinese successfully flashed the ROM, just checked. I have lost interest in it. However, I hope that untick the Preloader part will work.

@homer Yes you can use clickable with the USB cable. Or if SSH is available on your phone, clickable also can use it. Or you can push the *.click file to your phone with: SCP if SSH is enabled MTP to copy into one of the standard folders (Download, Documents, Pictures or Music) ADB if you update to RC or devel as per Luksus' post
